HOW THE CABLE Is PUT IN.

"They have a man crawl through the

cable after him. That's the way they
get the line put in
''No; they just start it properly, and a
rope is tied to it, pulled up through the
slot, and then the men drag the cable
after them the length of the line by
means of the rope"
"They must put it min sections, a lit
tie piece at time, with numerous
spices: how could they drag it the
whole ength?"
.'How in thunder can they string the
cable, anyway"
These remarks. and others in a SINH
lar strain, have been heard all along the
line, since work has progressed so far
that there seemed a possibility of the
line being finished this season. Two
or three communications have been sent
to the GLOBE Office On the same point.

Robert Garrett and Party Are
Away On Their journey.

"Minnetonka is cur objective point
to-day" SAID W. j. Prick, brother-in-
law of Robert Garrett, while suparin-
tending the removal of his baggage
from the Ryan yesterday afternoon,
''and after that we shall turn our faces
westward, with Portland, Or, as our OBJ
jective point. We have had most de-
lightful visit in st. Paul, and the trip
has improved Nh. Garrett wonderfully.
He has declined to talk upon matters
in which he is most interested, prinei-
pally under the advice of his physician.
who did not wish him to be annoyed
with business details. At the proper
time and in his own way, MI. Garrett
will prepare a statement for publica-
ton, in which recent transactions in,
yOlving the sale Of the telegraph COM
pany will be fully explained. But ne
thinks, and so do his friends, that there.
is no urgent necessity for him to talk at
present and for this reason alone he
has declined to be interviewed by. any,
one. Besides. he considers that his pri-
vate matters do not concern any one as
much as himself, and as he has gone,
out of active business he prefers to be a,
private citizen and to be treated accord-
ingly." Mr.. CARROTS party spent the
uay dC MEIlfletO1ka ana upon returning
to st. Paul yesterday afternoon went
to their special train and,
were soon Whirling westward.
All the roads over which they will pass
in their journey have given them the
right of way over all other trains, and
the only stops made will be for the pur-
pose of changing engines. Before leav-
ing the union depot Mr. Garrett said
that it was not true, as reported, that he
was a member of the syndicate that
purchased the plant of the Northwest
ern Car company, but he was very glad
that his friend Senator Sabin was again
Oh his feet. Since arriving in St. Paul
he had not discussed business matters
with Senator Sabin OF anybody else, but
he had been in his company great deal
and this had probably given rise to the
story of partnership.

Business Already Picking Up in
Saltwater Since the Car Com

Capt. E. S. Austin, of Saltwater, and
president of the st. Croix Lumber COM
pany, hustled into the Merchants last
evening with barely time to get supper
and take the northbound train, but
while on the move found time to say
that the victory of Senator Sabin Thurs
day meant a great deal for Saltwater.
Business that has been depressed in
consequence of the uncertainty of the
future of the car company" said the
captain, twill now pick up, and feel
ing of confidence has been restored in
commercial circles. This has been con-
cfusively demonstrated in my own case,
for, while times have been dull for
period, will have as much as can at
tend to from to-day on, and l have been
overwhelmed with letters and kilograms
from correspondents all over the North
west. The promises made by the new
owners of the car company will UNI
donbtedly be fulfilled, and our people
who had misgivings as to employment
this winter will have all their doubts
set at rest. 1t is impossible to estimate
the value of this plant to Saltwater, but
if any other than progressive, wide
awake capitalists had secured it, we
would have had very gloomy outlook
at Saltwater"
